Stephen Curry and Steve Kerr Open Up After Warriors’ Disheartening Loss to Cavaliers

The Golden State Warriors faced another crushing defeat on Monday, losing 113-95 to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The loss dropped the Warriors to a .500 record (16-16) and highlighted their ongoing struggles. Stephen Curry had an off night, scoring just 11 points on 4-of-14 shooting, as the team’s performance faltered across the board.

Curry’s Brutally Honest Take

In his postgame comments, Curry didn’t hold back in describing the Warriors’ current state:

“As the kids say, we’re very mid right now. We’re just very average.”

Golden State’s woes have been magnified following a promising 12-3 start to the season, as they’ve stumbled to a 4-13 record in their last 17 games.

Highlights and Lowlights

Young players Moses Moody and Jonathan Kuminga shined with 19 and 18 points, respectively, while veterans like Curry and Draymond Green underperformed. Meanwhile, Cleveland’s Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland dominated with a combined 48 points, highlighting the Warriors’ defensive deficiencies.

Coaching Reflection

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr echoed Curry’s sentiments:
“You are what your record says you are,” Kerr said, noting how their flaws, once obscured by early success, have been glaringly exposed.

With their playoff hopes in jeopardy, the Warriors face mounting pressure to address their inconsistency, either through tactical adjustments or further roster changes.
